Community Health Needs Assessment & Implementation Plan (CHNA)

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) of 2010 mandated new IRS requirements for hospitals, to help identify and address community health needs. 

In 2024, for the 4th time, all nonprofit hospitals in Washtenaw County, Michigan collaborated to conduct a single Community Health Needs Assessment for the shared geographic region of Washtenaw County. The hospitals, Trinity Health Ann Arbor, Chelsea Hospital, and U-M Health conducted a collaborative community health data collection and assessment. The process was supported by the Southeastern Michigan Hospital Association (SEMHA).
